    Good Day; thank you for this plugin; we have been looking for something like this for some time. Would it be possible to make this backwards compatible with older versions of Moodle?

    Hi, there is a 3.10-Version on the official github page. For older version please try to change the "required"-Version in the version.php and check out if it works. It should probably work with older versions as well, but we haven't tested it.

    Many thanks for developing and sharing this plugin! Unfortunately, under Moodle 3.11.2 we've encountered an issue where attempting to submit a word doesn't function. Output from the browser console reports:

    Source map error: Error: request failed with status 404
    Resource URL: https://moodle.site/mod/wordcloud/js/html2canvas/html2canvas.js
    Source Map URL: html2canvas.js.map
    Uncaught TypeError: $.mod_wordcloud_add_word is not a function
    onclick https://moodle.site/mod/wordcloud/view.php?id=124632:1
    $.mod_wordcloud_add_word is not a function. (In '$.mod_wordcloud_add_word()', '$.mod_wordcloud_add_word' is undefined)

    This occurs under our custom theme (as above) as well as under Boost, although the output is slightly different under Boost:

    Source map error: Error: request failed with status 404
    Resource URL: https://moodle.site/mod/wordcloud/js/html2canvas/html2canvas.js
    Source Map URL: html2canvas.js.map
    Uncaught TypeError: $ is undefined
    onclick https://moodle.site/mod/wordcloud/view.php?id=124632:1
    undefined is not an object (evaluating '$.mod_wordcloud_add_word')

    We've double-checked, and the html2canvas.js file referenced is present on our server and accessible, so we're unsure what might be happening here. Please can I ask if you have any ideas about this, and how we might be able to debug or resolve this issue?

    Thanks again.

    Hi, i've tested it on our 3.11.2 system and it works with our theme and the standard boost theme. Is it your first time using this plugin?
    Futher the html2canvas lib is used for the png exporter and not for the word commit logic. Maybe check if the addwordtowordcloud files (.js in src, .min.js and .min.js.map in build) are in the amd folder. Otherwise check if you run any javascript blocker and test a different browser.
    If the problem still occurs please open up a github issue and i will look further into it.
